Chapter 1027 Mysterious Invitation

 

These members of the Sky Watchers Bureau, although they had not yet seen Fu Han in person, were already terrified just by his voice, their faces instantly turning pale and their bodies growing cold.

“Take me to familiarize myself with the operations,” Fu Han said to Bai Konggu.

Bai Konggu’s expression became extremely solemn as he stood up.

“The members of the Sky Watchers Bureau are united by their shared aspirations. If the Bureau is handed over to a bloodthirsty person like you, its very nature will change! I firmly oppose this!”

At that moment, Rao Donghai shouted loudly.

Bai Konggu’s expression changed dramatically as he looked toward Fu Han.

By now, Fu Han had already raised his right hand toward Rao Donghai.

“No…” Bai Konggu shouted in horror.

“Splat…”

Fu Han clenched his right hand.

An invisible tremendous force instantly compressed Rao Donghai’s entire body into a bloody paste, then violently exploded!

Blood and flesh splattered everywhere.

Just like that, Rao Donghai… vanished.

The courtyard was covered with blood and fragments of flesh.

The smell of blood permeated the air.

Bai Konggu stared with wide eyes at the spot where Rao Donghai had been standing.

Now, there was only a large pool of blood and unbearable remains.

The Sky Watchers Bureau members who witnessed this scene covered their mouths, not daring to make a sound, their bodies trembling violently.

The inner courtyard was eerily quiet.

But after a few seconds, someone let out a suppressed sob.

Rao Donghai had been Bai Konggu’s capable assistant and the second-in-command of the Sky Watchers Bureau.

His tragic death was difficult to accept.

Yet Fu Han, the murderer, remained expressionless.

The group of subordinates behind him were the same, showing no emotion whatsoever.

Killing someone in such a cruel manner seemed to be a common occurrence for them.

“Take me to familiarize myself with the operations,” Fu Han stared at Bai Konggu and repeated.

Bai Konggu stiffly turned his head to look at Fu Han, his eyes red and his breathing heavy.

“You may be very angry, but he brought this upon himself,” Fu Han said calmly. “Besides, according to the Hidden Deity Society, I am now the master of the Sky Watchers Bureau.”

“I don’t need anyone’s permission to kill one of my subordinates.”

“If you disagree, you can also try to attack me.”

Fu Han was as cold-blooded as a machine, showing not the slightest change in expression or gaze as he spoke.

Bai Konggu’s breathing gradually returned to normal.

His expression also turned cold.

“Please follow me, I will help you become familiar with all operations,” Bai Konggu said.

“Let’s go,” Fu Han said.

…

An hour later, Bai Konggu returned to the courtyard where Rao Donghai had died.

Looking at the bloodstains covering the ground, his eyes turned red and his lips trembled.

He knew the Hidden Deity Society people were ruthless.

But he never imagined that even their disciples would be so cruel and merciless.

“Wuchenzi’s first disciple… Fu Han!” Bai Konggu gritted his teeth, clenching his fists, his heart filled with anger.

“Angry?”

Just then, Fu Han’s voice suddenly reached Bai Konggu’s ears.

Bai Konggu’s expression changed, and he immediately turned around.

Fu Han, dressed in black, stood two meters behind him.

“Am I not allowed to be angry?” Bai Konggu couldn’t help but retort.

“That’s your freedom,” Fu Han said. “I’m looking for you because I need to ask you something.”

“…What is it?” Bai Konggu took a deep breath, suppressing his anger.

“You previously investigated Fang Yu. I need the complete investigation report,” Fu Han said.

Fang Yu?

Bai Konggu’s eyes flickered slightly as he said, “I never truly investigated Fang Yu.”

“No?” Fu Han stared at Bai Konggu.

Bai Konggu shook his head and said, “At most, I just paid some attention to Fang Yu, but it wasn’t an investigation. If you’re interested in him, investigate him yourself. It has nothing to do with me.”

Fu Han stared at Bai Konggu for several seconds before speaking: “Very well. From today onward, you have no further connection to the Sky Watchers Bureau.”

Hearing these words, the wrinkled corners of Bai Konggu’s eyes twitched slightly.

Fu Han had already turned to leave.

…

In the afternoon, Fang Yu arrived at the Lin family residence.

Since the previous incident, the Lin family members had been treating Fang Yu like a deity.

Along the way, every Lin family member Fang Yu encountered, regardless of what they were doing, would stop and give him a ninety-degree bow.

Fang Yu arrived at Lin Zhengxiong’s recovery quarters.

After a period of recuperation, Lin Zhengxiong had recovered quite well.

However, due to his damaged meridians, his cultivation was less than seventy percent of his peak strength.

For a cultivator, especially one who had reached a bottleneck, this was a fatal blow.

Damaged meridians essentially meant… he would never advance further in this lifetime.

“How are you feeling?” Fang Yu asked.

“Thank you for saving my life, Master Fang. If you hadn’t intervened… Zhilan and I would probably have died at the hands of those villains,” Lin Zhengxiong said gratefully.

“Your cultivation might never improve in this lifetime. How do you feel about that?” Fang Yu asked.

“Haha… I was already struggling to improve anyway. Letting go of this obsession is actually good for me,” Lin Zhengxiong laughed and said. “After this attack, being able to survive is already extremely fortunate… even if my cultivation is completely wasted, I won’t complain.”

“You have a good attitude,” Fang Yu nodded and said.

“Master Fang, I truly must thank you on behalf of the Lin family, and even on behalf of our ancestors…” Lin Zhengxiong said, preparing to kneel.

During the time he had been bedridden, the Lin family had become the undisputed number one family in North Capital.

This was an achievement he couldn’t have dreamed of when he became the family head.

The Wang family had been like a mountain, pressing down on all the major families of North Capital, none of whom could move.

But now… the Wang family had fallen, and the other five families had lost much of their power.

The remaining Qi family, which already had a power gap with the Lin family, was no longer a threat.

And all of this… had been accomplished by Fang Yu.

Fang Yu reached out to stop Lin Zhengxiong and said, “No need to thank me. I had reasons why I had to help you.”

Lin Zhengxiong looked up at Fang Yu in confusion and asked, “Master Fang, what do you mean by that?”

Fang Yu thought for a moment and said, “It’s nothing, just take it at face value.”

Should I directly tell him I was good friends with your ancestor?

Such words wouldn’t be believed and would only create more confusion, so it was better left unsaid.

…

After visiting Lin Zhengxiong, Fang Yu went to the training ground where Lin Zhilan was.

The girl had resumed training the day after the poison was removed from her body.

Fang Yu stood at the entrance of the training ground and took a look.

Lin Zhilan was still practicing the first form of the Heavenly Way Sword Technique.

From what he could see, she was doing quite well.

Fang Yu didn’t go in to disturb her and left the Lin family residence directly.

…

Returning to his bamboo house, Fang Yu was about to go upstairs to take a nap.

But before he could go upstairs, Ye Shengxue called out to him.

“Mr. Fang,” Ye Shengxue quickly walked forward.

Fang Yu turned around and asked, “What is it?”

Ye Shengxue approached Fang Yu and handed him an envelope.

“An hour ago, someone passed by the gate and left this letter,” Ye Shengxue said.

“Did you look at the contents of the letter?” Fang Yu asked.

Ye Shengxue shook her head and said, “I didn’t open the envelope.”

Fang Yu shook the envelope slightly.

There was clearly a small object inside.

Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and opened the envelope.

Inside was a letter.

Unfolding it, there was only one sentence.

“Fang Yu, if you’re interested in having a chat with me, please use the positioning stone below to find me.”

In the bottom right corner was a signature: Bai Konggu.

Turning the envelope upside down, a coin-sized jade stone fell out.

Fang Yu held the jade stone in his hand and could feel the faint spatial energy contained within it.

Bai Konggu wanted to talk with him?

Why not just go to the Sky Watchers Bureau? Why all this secrecy?

Fang Yu frowned, puzzled.

He quickly recalled the day he had followed Bai Konggu and met Master Xiu.

At that time, Master Xiu had invited him to join the Hidden Deity Society, which he had refused.

Then, Master Xiu had made some threatening remarks.

Bai Konggu was under Master Xiu’s command.

So his invitation today… was most likely issued behind Master Xiu’s and the Hidden Deity Society’s backs.

Otherwise, there would be no need for such secrecy.

Considering this, Fang Yu gripped the positioning stone in his hand.

“Mr. Fang, are you going to meet this person?” Ye Shengxue asked curiously.

“Yes, I need to see what this is about,” Fang Yu said.
